CFL to LED Transition - What Potential Issues?

LoSBigBluestarted grow question 4y ago

Grow tent is getting to the point to where I need a separate area for new seedlings so thinking about using 100W CFL bulb in area outside tent then move seedlings into tent with TS1000 LED at the start of veg. Any issues I should be aware of?
